Sheffield
Steelers forward Mathieu Roy has re-signed for the Steelers
It might not have been the best day to announce this considering it was announced at 6am on the 1st April also known as April fools and you can probably guess where it was going! Fans didn’t know whether to believe it or not or whether the club were having us on but let’s be honest if they was having us on it would be a cruel way to do it because I don’t know of one Steelers fan that isn’t glad the Roy has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club till the end of the 2016/17 season. I myself didn’t realise it was April fools and was just over joyed that the best player in the EIHL had re-signed for the Steelers.

Mathieu signed for Sheffield from the Florida Everblades last summer
where he spent 5 seasons 3 of them as captain lifting silverware as their
captain and he brought with him an impressive resume. He certainly showed that
this season. In the regular season Roy has scored 95 points scoring 42 goals
and putting up 53 assists and then only sitting 50 penalty minutes. Roy re-signing is a massive boost especially just a few day before the playoff finals weekend, Mathieu Roy will be part of a team that will be looking to defend their league championship as well as being part of a Sheffield team taking part in the Champions Hockey League for the first time.
Going into the Finals Weekend Roy is on 98 points (post-season points added) and just two away from 100 EIHL points which will be a massive statement in just his first season and with another two to come for sure opposition teams will be hating the fact he re-signed but there is one thing for sure Mathieu will put 100% every single time he steps onto the Ice so I’m glad he’s playing for us rather than against us as Mathieu is a massive part of the Steeler family.
